for example htc rezound if you rename the rom name to PH98IMG you can reboot into bootloader and flash the rom automatically. how do I do that? asking because I don't have a rom on my phone (I wiped everything) now trying to get a rom loaded on it

Your Rom can be named whatever you want as long as you write the name the same in the command and Idk if there is an automatic way like that, I doubt it.
This cant be done with roms, only with ruu's and firmware images. You would need a usb-otg cable, a fat32 formated flash drive, and the correct name would be PN07IMG.zip
im so stuck now. the htc resound was so much easier.
im s-off but stuck with no rom at all to load.
I kno how to adb sideload a rom to my phone but non of them are installing.
how can I return to stock?

more information would be nice. I cant not find a ruu zip or exe downloadwith vzw_001 thats my cid I believe.
so I will have to get that ruu and adb sidload it and then install from twrp? or fastboot oem rebootRUU install it that way?
detailed information would be greatly appreciated my hboot is the dreaded 1.56 I am s-off tho unlocked.
You can get the ruu's at the bottom of this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46506621
You can direct flash thru hboot as i explained earlier, or use
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip nameoffile.zip
You do not sideload the zip to the phone, but put it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe.

hmm thank you so much. and for some reason encrypted ruu doesn't work? but isn't that like how stock comes from the factory? I would like it to be factory stock to the max. then im gunna just debloat it.
For encrypted to work you must relock your bootloader. Either way you are getting the exact same thing. Encrypted / decrypted refer to the flashable file it self, not the files it contains or how they are put on the phone. Once you do the ruu and take the ota, you will be compleet stock other than being unlocked and s-off.

I have tried a search but can't find what I'm looking for. I am rooted but want to do the OTA update. I have downloaded the correct stock recovery .img file but what is the procedure to flash this?
Thanks, Craig
Rename the stock recovery to recovery.img and place it in the fastboot folder ..... Put the phone in the bootloader and flash it from the command prompt on the pc
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Hi Craig
I've seached and cannot find a suitable stock image download for a UK HTC One on the Orange network (if that makes any difference).
Could you post where you downloaded a stock image from please?
I've found plenty of M7 RUU links but it seems a bit crazy to reflash everything including the radio just to reset the bootloader.
Thanks in advance

Recovery is present in RUU. If u have found the correct RUU then just extract the recovery image from Ruu and then flash it. When u click the ruu a temporary zip file is created in c drive (windows pc). There is a file called "rom.zip" . Extract recovery from this rom.zip
No luck with this..

Hi
I've spent several hours trawling through forum posts and trying suggestions but I'm having no luck getting back to stock.
This is what I have:
HTC One on Orange UK
Bootloader locked
S-On
CWM Recovery
Stock ROM
What I've done is unlocked the bootloader and flashed CWM recovery. I then relocked the bootloader.
I've searched for hours for a stock recovery that is compatible with this model but to no avail. I've also tried to find an RUU for Orange UK but again, no luck.
I've tried to set S-Off using revone but get an 'error: device not found' when running 'adb push revone /data/local/tmp/'. I've also tried to run 'fastboot oem unlock' but that also errors.
The phone works but I'm unable to OTA upgrade which is quite frustrating.
Anyone have any recomendations as how to get this back to stock?
Many thanks in advance

why did you relock the bootloader with custom CWM recovery on your phone? u need to unlock the bootloader again..what errors are you getting while unlocking again? and ask for stock recovery in htc one forum.. someone will have it
Fellow Noob here. Please bare with me.
Purchase a used HTC one. Previous owner has S Off and Custom Recovery (Team Recovery).
The OTA comes over on my phone but when I try to install I am taken to the Team Recovery prompt at start up.
How do I get my phone to a state to take OTA updates like 4.4.2 (Verizon)?
Help is much appreciated.

You'll have to go back to stock rom and stock recovery. There should be a thread out there to tell you how if you don't already know. Search this forum for "return to Stock recovery" and I'm sure you'll find it.
Does this video an accurate description of what I need to do?
Youtube: How to Unroot HTC ONE and Relock Bootloader or back to STOCK (All Versions)
Sorry can't post links yet.
The exception being - using the correct RUU for verizon?
Ruu back to 2.10.605.1 - can be found in santods rom/radio/kernel thread at the bottom of the second post.
Take the ota
Fastboot flash recovery
Flash Superuser thru recovery.
No need to relock your bootloader to do an ruu, it is a myth.

Thank you cmlusco. Very greatful.
So 1) Download Ru 2.10.605.1
2) Go through the prompts
3) take OTA 4.4.2 (KitKat)
At this point, what does the Fastboot Flash Recovery, and Flash Superused thru recovery do?
Thank you very much!
Yes, and those roots the phone again. It flashes a custom recovery like twrp, so that u can flash superuser, roms, mods, and do backups. And the second flashes superuser, which well gives you superuser rights to modify files on the phone, use root apps, etc..

Gotcha. I could just leave it after the OTA 4.2.2. - leaving the device unrooted (but with a unlocked bootloader & S off)?
my main objective is to really just go back to stock but still get OTA updates. i purchased this phone with the intention of just running stock features etc.
Yeah just do the ruu and you will be stock unlocked s-off JB. Then you can take the KK ota and all future ota's.

After downloading 2 different RUU's I can't find any Exe Executable files after unzipping.. What am I doing wrong?
You dont unzip them and there is no exe. You flash the zip as it is using fastboot. You need adb and fastboot + drivers installed on your pc. Place the zip in the same folder as adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Then open a cmd prompt on your pc so that the path is the same as where the files are. Then reboot the phone to the bootloader. In the cmd prompt type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
The phone will go to a black screen, then type
Code:
fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip
It may fail the first time with a message about flushing, this is normal. Just run the second cmd again

fastboot flash zip name_of_file.zip

Hi everyone! I installed the stock google edition on my HTC ONE M8 last night using adb command. Then I get in TWRP recovery try to restore my previous backup that I made using TWRP. Then I got an "restore failed". So, I get in wipe, but I chose the advanced wipe instead of factory reset because my old defy+ is this. I'm so stupid.... I deleted the system. Now I have no OS installed on my phone. I googled earlier that people were saying that using ADB sideload will work. I get in recovery and pressed the sideload but the progress bar just keep going for like 8 hours straight !!! What should I do?
Also, my phone has unlocked boot loader and S-OFF. I rooted my phone before I did the wipe.
Use adb push <nameofrom>.zip /sdcard and then flash that

Okay. But when I connect my phone to my PC. It makes the notification sound but did not recognize it. And when I typed in "adb devices" there is no devices attached.
It'll only show when booted into TWRP (so flash that in fastboot if you have to), and that's when you push the file

If it was the RUU then you'll have to flash the firmware package in post 2 of the RUU thread before flashing a Sense-based ROM but if you want the GPe ROM back just flash the RUU again as per the original thread...

Your backup probably failed because it didn't backup correctly. It's happened to me a couple of times wirh TWRP. You should always check your backup works before deleting anything. There are stock backups available on this forum.
The RUU has to be flashed in fastboot using the fastboot commands, so if you're trying to flash it in TWRP it will fail. To flash the RUU, you have to:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <nameofzip>.zip
First time WILL fail, so then run the same command again - fastboot flash zip <nameofzip>.zip
fastboot reboot
This is ONLY for the RUU ZIP file and not a normal TWRP-flashable ZIP

If you did want sense all you need to do is restore a stock backup and then flash firmware.
If you restore gpe ruu, just download a stock sense backup, the copy and paste the extracted folder it in the twrp folder and restore, then flash the firmware_splash.zip in RUU mode

I tried to get in my fastboot and do the command u gave me. It tells me to "wait for devices" HELP!!
i modified my platform.xml to enable w/r access for the sdcard a few months back.
there was a copy of the original, er, 'somewhere' but i cant find it now.
i have removed the line added i in before but the 4.4.4 ota update is failing because of platform.xml.
anyone have a stock unmodified platform.xml they could upload here or pm?
my M8 is a dual sim version if that makes any difference.
thanks.

Hi,
not exactly. but i am on 4.4.4
i was toying with the idea of winding back to stock using nandroid, rooting and copying out platform.xml, then having another go at OTA...
but, i thought i might as well give MaximusHD 4.4.4 for dual sim a go as i was going to wipe anyway.
i flashed TWRP latest 2.8.1 and updated firmware (link is on Maximus page) and then ROM.
so thats where i am now and happy with the rom.
100% stable, no issues noticed at all and aroma removed some bloat for me as i installed.
no need to go back now.
i will wait for lollipop from HTC and all those custom roms for M8 dual sim to try out (er, joke)

Thanks. As I am rooted, with TWRP, but S-ON, I think I can't flash the new firmware. Or am I wrong on that?
I have nandroid backup from my original stock, so could go back to that and re-lock and then do the OTA, but it's a long slow way of getting to 4.4.4!
An alternative would be Cyanogenmod - but although CM11 supports multi-sim phones I can find nothing clear about whether the official builds support the M8 dual-sim.

you can but you have to re-lock the boot loader which will wipe your phone.
i used these instructions (I am S-OFF already) and firmware from link on Maximus site:
-------------------------------------------------------
How to flash firmware
### If you are S-ON ---> Re-lock your bootloader (this will most probably wipe content of your device)
If you are S-OFF ---> no need to re-lock the bootloader.
Copy downloaded .zip to fastboot.exe location
Re-name .zip file to firmware.zip
Open command prompt
Boot your device in fastboot mode (vol DOWN + power ===> fastboot)
Connect device to the PC
In command prompt cd to fastboot.exe location
Make sure you have correct modeid and cidnum (type: fastboot getvar all)
### Type: fastboot oem lock (if your device is not relocked yet or in case it's S-ON)
Type: fastboot oem rebootRUU and wait for device to reboot
Type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip and wait for process to complete
Flash firmware.zip again just to make sure.
Type: fastboot reboot-bootloader
-------------------------------------------------------
what i am sure of is that without the new firmware you will not have wifi
i thought i flashed the firmware first but didnt do it twice and it didnt stick. after the rom was installed i had no wifi but guessed that was the problem and re flashed the firmware. then it was ok.
as for cyanogenmod, unless it states it is for M8 Dual SIM then i wouldnt bother unless youve got time to experiment and hope for updates.
i know there are many arguments as to why you dont really need S-OFF for most normal operations but it a real fail-safe when things get messed up (my 2c)
just find the $25 for sunshine, its worth it.

But in the end I had to use the method you suggest, as once the ROM was installed I had no firmware and was therefore stuck in bootloader. With some fiddling I managed to sort it all out, and everything is now running.

Really stuck at the moment
My CID is HTC_001 and I'm on version 2.41.401.3? (S-ON)
I'm trying to flash the latest oreo firmware however I can't either find the correct RUU to do it, on top of that I'm trying the flash (I think the right file?_) via SD card however I don't have one and people are mentioned using a command prompt which confused me more.
Please help ! If you can provide links to the RUU or the correct file I'm meant to flash I'd appreciate it

The easiest way for someone who doesn't want to take the time to learn how things work would be to download this Nougat RUU
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=241133
To flash RUU:
Rename the file to 2PS6IMG.zip
Place on Ex SD CARD
boot to download mode
Press vol up to flash.
RUU will erase internal storage. Once RUU has flashed boot your phone and take the OTA to OREO. After your phone has taken the OTA flash the latest twrp then flash leedroid Oreo ROM.
The reason I suggest this way instead of flashing firmware is because your going to have to wipe data anyway and by flashing an RUU you have a clean start.

You can't flash it with twrp. You can use htc_fastboot and flash from RUU mode.

Awesome okay, so I've booted in RUU mode however on the command prompt when I try to flash I'm met with target reported max download size of 157920000, invalid sparse file format at header magic. Can you advise?
Again thanks for the help

Thank you for your help!
If anyone wants to know what I did to get back to stock so I could download Oreo
Downloaded Fastboot/ADB(Use this guide) https://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378
Enabled USB debugging on the phone
Download HTC_Fastboot (Google it)
Download the Zip yldlj posted (Only if you are the same CID as me, the check this go onto the app store and find CID checker and then look on XDA for appropriate zip)
Put the download zip into the same folder as ADB/HTC_Fastboot/Fastboot folder. Rename it ota.zip
In the folder where you've extracted the ADB/Fastboot/ hold Ctrl Shift Right click open command window here
Connect your phone via USB
Set your phone onto download mode
From there I used the command htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once loaded into RUU Mode use the command htc_fastboot flash zip ota.zip
Once that was complete I was back to stock Android N which then enables me to update to Oreo
BANG
Fixed
Thank you everyone for your help. If you get stuck I'll try my best to help you

The easiest way for someone who doesn't want to take the time to learn how things work would be to download this Nougat RUU
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=241133
To flash RUU:
Rename the file to 2PS6IMG.zip
Place on Ex SD CARD
boot to download mode
Press vol up to flash.
RUU will erase internal storage. Once RUU has flashed boot your phone and take the OTA to OREO. After your phone has taken the OTA flash the latest twrp then flash leedroid Oreo ROM.
The reason I suggest this way instead of flashing firmware is because your going to have to wipe data anyway and by flashing an RUU you have a clean start.

1: you need the ruu that matches your main version OS which can be found in the download mode
2: if you are on leedroid oreo means you have a oreo firmware and in that case you can not "just" flash a nougat ruu. Check the guides section, there is a downgrade dedicated thread with all the needed information
